I recently joined Pixelfed and, considering there’s no algorithm, hashtags are the only way to be discovered.

I hate hashtag optimizing, but I also don’t want to upload my image to someone else’s random server before posting it to pixelfed, just to generate hashtags. Where should I look to find something I can host myself, or even something that runs natively on Android/Linux, that’ll generate hashtags/keywords for an image?

    That sounds like a job for AI, I think. I’m hopeful that you can find a good solution!

      Yeah, GPT or whatever can do it, but I was hoping for something a bit more lightweight than what we’ve come to know as AI, as I don’t want to invest in new hardware.

        If you want software that analyses an image and produces tags that describe the image’s content, you want a combination of image recognition, image interpretation, text generation and a promp generator to link these three parts. There is no way that any single of these applications can be “lightweight”, not to speak of the combination.
